Was the son of Scottish photographer Thomas Annan. He is particularly remembered as an expert in photogravure. This technique is to transfer the negative on metal. He re-photographed the work of Hill and Adamson’s pictures which revived interest. He was made a member of the Linked Ring in 1894, and his work was published in a number of editions of Camera Work, which describes him as “one of the foremost artists in photography”. Some sixty photographs, mostly photogravures are on display at The Royal Photographic Society, which was acquired from the photographer and collectors from the 1920s.
